He was wrongly imprisoned, apparently, that seems to be the upshot of what the US has said.
Australian government was complicit in this.
As such, if he was wronged then compensation is a fairly normal outcome. So, if he is paid "millions" (I suspect it will be far less in the long run) he is being compensated for the Australian Government having wronged him.
Now the real issue here is that tax payers will foot the bill, rather than the main two players behind the Australian Government failing to protect, support or advocate for an Australian citizen's rights. Bottom line, Ruddock and Howard should foot the bill, it was their personal decision making that caused this outcome...
What about Hick's "personal decision making"?
What is it with you loops and your pissy bloody excuses for everyone that does something wrong and gets caught?
Nah, I get it he made piss bloody poor decisions, however, that isn't the issue. At the time of his imprisonment, NO LAW had been broken by him.
I am curious what it is with you that you simply don't get how the age old justice system is actually meant to work...
He broke no law (nothing to do with his crap decision making that is not a legal point in this) and was, consequently, wrongly imprisoned. That is the issue that is to be compensated, apparently.
If you can demonstrate the laws he broke I am sure the Australian Government will be eternally grateful to you.
What is it with you loops who have flagrant disregard for the rule of law?
I don't give a bugger about any laws....
He's a traiterous dog and i wish he had caught a bullet.
